All Chapters of Reborn to Ruin Him: Chapter 1 - Chapter 9

Danielle“How the fuck are you still married to a man like him?” Yvette, my best friend asked, rolling her eyes for the umpteenth time. My eyes were on her as she carefully picked her glass of wine, taking a sip. Her nails were manicured. Very much unlike mine. I managed a smile, but I couldn't even blame her. How else was your best friend supposed to react when your husband has been the most absent man in years?“He'll make sure to be home for dinner,” I said, blinking the tears back in. The least he could do was show up for his daughter on her birthday.Who was I kidding? It was too hard for him too. Cole had been so consumed by work, that he barely even saw me. I didn't want to think that he was having an affair. He wouldn't do that to me. Yvette suddenly stood up. “I need to make use of the bathroom,” she whispered. “I'll be back.” She leaned down, ruffling my daughter's hair as she headed into the house. “Will Daddy come home?” My daughter, Ellie asked, fiddling with the toy i

DanielleI blinked as the cameras flashed continuously. Jayden was by my side. That was enough to make me smile. “One more question!” Another journalist practically screamed, and I gave him a small nod. “You survived a ghastly accident like that. Do you think your parents would have changed their minds about handing the company over to you?”I gave him a small smile. “Why don't we leave that as a mystery? For now, I'm just glad I survived.”There was no way I was going to make the same mistakes again. That was my mantra ever since I woke up on that hospital bed. I was yet to trust my new family wholely. Outsiders were out of the question. It was already a week since I had been with the Carters. Well, my family. I was still used to calling them that. To keep up the profile, I even had to do a quick research about Melanie Carter. I didn't know what to think about what I saw. She was a spoilt brat. That much was very clear from the late club nights that she continuously posted. For h

DanielleMy whole body shook with rage as I watched the both of them. I felt my nails digging into my palm, and the tears stung my eyes. I was remembering everything that I had tried to push to the back of my head the whole time. Wounds were being ripped open, and it felt like my insides were being twisted inside out. Yvette's eyes landed on me, and she quickly pulled Cole closer like she was marking her territory. I wanted to laugh and tell her that he was going to cheat on her, just the way he did to me. I wanted to walk up to Cole and ask him how long the both of them had been at it. At the back of my head, I could see Ellie's face. Move. I managed to push myself inside, still feeling Cole's eyes on my back. As I walked in, I took in the slightly flashy decor. The creme de la creme of the society stood around in coal suits and expensive gowns. I didn't want to be there, but I still had to prove to my grandfather that Melanie was the perfect person for the family. My fingers we

Danielle The way I took my shoes off was out of this world. My ankles were practically killing me, and so were my cheeks. Heavens knew how Melanie managed to pretend for that long. There was no way that she genuinely smiled at all those people. My heels were in my hand as I got to my room, throwing them somewhere, and plopping down on the bed. I had barely gotten to put my hair down when I heard a knock at the door. “Come in,” I said, and the door was slowly pushed open. One of the maids came into the room, with her hands in front of her. There was a small smile on her face, and I forced myself back to a sitting position. “Do you want something?” I asked, and she shook her head. “Elder Carter has called for you,” she said calmly, and I licked my lips, holding myself back from rolling my eyes. I didn't even care. I was back home, away from those judging eyes. That was what mattered. “I'll be right there,” I said, and she nodded, walking away. I took a deep breath, rubbing

DanielleYou would think that Mr. DaVinci was the last person that was going to attack. But he was only the beginning. “I don't think we should be trusting a woman who crashed her car while she was partying.” Another of the executives looked at Liam. Oh, Melanie. The amount of trouble that you have created for me.I didn't even give Liam the opportunity to speak. “I went into a coma, didn't I?” I asked, looking directly at the woman that just spoke. “You can say that I've been reborn. And of course, I won't be the one assuring you that I've changed. You'll be seeing the change yourself.”She licked her lips, suddenly sitting up. From everything I had learned from Cole in the past, I knew that I was winning this woman over. “Enough of this, please,” Liam said, trying to restore the non-existent decorum to the room. “We had plans of going through the quarterly reports. Melanie, please take a seat while we get the presentation started.”I could feel Andrei's eyes on me, but I didn't e
